“On one of the first days at my company, a colleague took me to the old New York Deli on Temple Street and introduced me to Kadhim. I couldn't understand why he would take the time - it's not like this guy is going to remember me out of all of the people who come through there. My mistake - every time I would see him over the years, at whatever location, Kadhim would come from behind the counter and greet me by name like an old friend. Understand - he was told my name once, over 20 years ago. I don't even go out to lunch very often - sometimes it would be years between visits to one of the Falafel King locations. But every time I enter, it's a big smile and greeting and an expression of appreciation that cannot be faked...go check them out!“

“I had an amazing experience with Moroccan food. The flavors are rich, warm, and full of spices that blend perfectly together. Every dish feels like it’s made with care and tradition. The tagine was tender and full of flavor, and the couscous was light and delicious. I also loved the fresh bread and mint tea — it made the whole experience even better. Moroccan food is not just a meal, it’s a cultural experience. I highly recommend everyone to try it at least once!“

“We’re visiting the Boston area and decided to try Rami’s since we were looking for a glatt kosher place nearby.

It’s a simple, casual spot, but the food was fresh and very satisfying. We ordered classic Israeli dishes, and everything tasted authentic and well prepared. Service was quick, and the staff was efficient.

The place isn’t fancy, but it’s clean and does exactly what it’s supposed to do — good kosher food without a long wait. Prices are reasonable for the area.

Overall, a solid and reliable option if you’re looking for kosher food in Brookline.“

“Great experience! Food was great and our server was really friendly and helpful! We were trying to catch a concert and service was very fast. Portion sizes were generous. Forgot to take a picture of the fried fish but that was also great. Highly recommended!“

“Great experience this afternoon. Sat outside and the service was great. The food was delicious! We had a flat bread and two pita wrapped sandwiches. The freshly made pita bread is delicious! Looking forward to going back!“

“Tried Allspice for the first time today. Delicious. Lamb gyro was cooked perfectly and fresh. Very reasonably priced. Wonderful people working there as well. Looking forward to going back soon“

“Always a good experience at Noor! Quality is superb, even when ordering delivery. My favorite plate is the Lule Plate, and the staff can accommodate any requests for substitutions/add ons. I have never left Noor as an unhappy customer! Arsen and team go above and beyond every time.“

“AMAZING fresh food! some of best food I've ever tasted!“

“Delicious tasty 😋 I love Falafel Place“

“Casual atmosphere. Very welcoming and customer oriented. The owner was on site and came out to greet us. One of our dishes were not as expected.It was quicky redone and both our server and owner checked with us to be sure it was to our liking .My wife had a number of appetizers, the spinach pie and meet dumplings were delicious. I had the lamb shanks which was plentiful and quie falvorful.“

“We had a wonderful family dinner at Halva Kebab and it was truly a great experience from start to finish! My husband, my son, and I ordered the mixed grill along with several appetizers, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, the portions were generous, and every dish we tried was outstanding.
What makes this place extra special is that it’s a family business — you can feel the warmth and care in both the food and the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome.
If you’re looking for amazing food and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere in Watertown, Halva Kebab is the place to go. We will definitely be coming back!“

“Was in town for the weekend visiting family and made a trip to massis we don’t have any Armenian bakeries or stores in Connecticut. So many options to choose from i stocked up on things to bring home and got a bunch of mezze things for dinner with family we were visiting some of Them have never had Armenian food before and they enjoyed all of it. Amazing Armenian food and pastries“

“Excellent and friendly service, food and environment 👍🏼“

“Super nice Middle Eastern shawarma place to eat next to the common. Reasonably priced- $20 for a beef shawarma, a water, and a baklava (came with 2 pieces & not as overpoweringly sweet as others I've tried)
Well air-conditioned, and incredibly nice workers, with a working bathroom and a downstairs private area for people who practice Islam to pray.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food was outstanding. The service was equally impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable.
The restaurant also offered great value for the quality of food and service provided. Whether you're visiting for a casual meal, a family gathering, or a special occasion, I would highly recommend this place. I look forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.“

“Nachlo is truly one of the best spots in Boston. The food is absolutely incredible, fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every dish tastes homemade and full of character. The owners are amazing and genuinely kind, and the staff is just as warm and welcoming. You can really feel the passion behind this place. The atmosphere is lively, cozy, and just such a great vibe overall. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“We knew we wanted Magic Bites to cater our family event and we were so pleased that we did! Atilla and Elif were helpful and patient planning the menu and everything was top notch delicious. They knew we had some allergies in the family and they made an extra effort to create large labels with all ingredients. I highly recommend them!!“

“Amazing food! Best Persian food in MA! Clean! Friendly staff. Reasonable pricing.“

“Don't judge a store by it's front. Ehab is the MAN. Going in, it feels very much like a hole in the wall but I was pleasantly surprised. After a few minutes I had a superb chicken and steak shwarma wrap that was cooked, grilled and seasoned to perfection. Not like any other shwarma I've ever had before. This one is unique in that the assortment and ratio of fresh meat and vegetables (shredded carrots, cubed peppers, fresh lettuce, cucumber etc.) with their secret sauce was balanced extremely well. It was like having a traditional shawarma and salad at the same time in a wrap and that's not easy to pull off without one overpowering or just not working well with the other. Oh, and it came paired with thick cut fries seasoned well. The portion was huge and generous. I had one half and was stuffed so I got 2+ meals out of it. I give Azama Grill 10/10. Eat here, you won't regret it.“

“We usually order from a different Shawarma place in Somerville, but decided to give Sam's a try. The food was very good, and in good sized portions. They were good about following requests to leave things out of the wraps. Note that they do the style with fries on the side rather than in the wrap. My only complaint is that they list some, but not all, of the ingredients on their site. So if you have things you can't eat, I definitely recommend calling them to double check. My partner can't do creamy sauces, and they listed tahini sauce but not garlic sauce in the lamb/beef shawarma, which ended up being a problem. Not a huge thing, just annoying that they make it look like everything is listed when it isn't.“

“Fantastic service , great food“

“You have to go check out this place. It is in the cutest space. Mediterranean food at its best. So much better than all the rest. Truly Zatar is the best by far!!! Nice selection of food for Vegan and Vegetarians. Had the Vegan Kibbeh, Meat Kibbeh, Zatar Flatbread, Hamburgers, Fries, Babaganoush, Hummus, Grape Leaves and Israeli Salads.“

“I’ve been going to Charlie’s for years with my wife and it is our number one neighborhood go to. Charlie is the best, undefeated customer service and he takes the time to know many of his guests. The food is great with a huge variety 5/5 ! Would recommend“

“Very yummy 😋 I ‘m coming back !!!“

“The best falafel I’ve ever had. My wife finished nine out of 12 of these in less than five minutes driving away from the store… We turned around in order two dozen more. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is no frills but all delicious“

“Always tasty and fresh 😋!“

“Staff are nice and have good service“

“Ari is an amazing person it are you there is an a hug for me! The catchup is very good. Very good with a VSCO girls Like myself. Would not recommend eating their tinfoil! Ari=amaizing ever one else is quiet! Good with gluten free(for some fellow Karen’s)“

“I like the Beef & Lamb Shawarma Pita Roll-Up, which is perfect for weekday lunch.
Toppings are customizable, and I like the Fried Cauliflower.
Online ordering is convenient. I can take my time to familiarize myself with the toppings before placing an order.“

“Very nice place to have lunch and work on a laptop, with comfortable seating and password protected WiFi. Pleasant interiors and music, clean restrooms. Large, free parking lot in rear.

Fresh and tasty food, several options of salads, rice, potatoes, meat and other nutritious Mediterranean food.

Very good service, reasonable prices, recommended 👍😊“

“The lamb kebab was one of the juiciest, well-cooked lamb I've ever had. I would go back just for this dish! The ground beef kebab is also great. Wasn't a huge fan of the beef tenderloin kebab or salmon kebab, they were both pretty dry. The rice is standard, no seasoning, but the roasted tomatoes were a nice touch. Truly no frills to the point I didn't really enjoy dining in (maybe would've helped if they played some music) but will definitely get the lamb kebab to go in the future.“

“I was here with a couple of friends from work , the food was amazing and the atmosphere was super chill, service was fast and customer service was the best … I’ll def be coming back when I visit Boston“

“I read some of the negative reviews here and do not agree with them. I found the owner to be very kind, and it is clear that he works extremely hard. The food was quite good compared to similar places I have visited. The chicken and lamb shawarma were much juicier than expected. Overall, I would definitely come back again. I just hate driving into Harvard Sq.“

“Third or fourth time here -- different choice each time. ALWAYS FRESH, FLAVORFUL AND DELISH'. Today -- Greek salad with spicy chicken shawarma. Sides of cauliflower and tabbouli.“

“Our server Bryan was amazing.
We came in, and he was ready to serve us.
Once we were ready to order our food, after Bryan got our orders, our food arrived INCREDBLEY fast.
Amazing workers, amazing staff, amazing EVERYTHING.“

“Friendly team, always smiling... And the food, just yummy“
